The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda has called on residents of Plateau State to rise in unity to fight insecurity across the state.
Yilwatda, who gave the admonition during a visit to Kanam Local Government Area on Sunday following recent attacks where bandits killed several people, including soldiers and vigilante officers, called on residents not to relinquish the issues of security to operatives alone but to participate in strengthening security measures in their communities to ensure everyone remains peaceful and free from fear.
The APC Chairman, who also visited the Emir of Kanam, Alh. Muhammadu Mu’azu Muhammadu at his palace, condoled with the victims of the attack and extended his deepest sympathies to the affected families and the entire emirate, stressing that he stands in solidarity with the people during this difficult period.
Yilwada noted that at a time like this, his thoughts were firmly with the affected families, and he stood in solidarity with the entire Emirate, praying for comfort for those who suffered losses and for the swift restoration of peace, unity, and stability across Kanam.
“What remains most inspiring is the unwavering courage, unity, and resilience demonstrated by the people of Kanam in the face of adversity,” he stated.
“These qualities are a powerful reminder that even in difficult moments, hope and collective determination can prevail.
“It is therefore incumbent on all of us, leaders and citizens alike, to renew our commitment to fostering peace, strengthening security, and building a future where every community can thrive without fear,” he added.
